Be Kind to Your Curiosity

When I was nine or ten, this old lawnmower we had stopped working. The engine seized one day while my dad was out mowing the lawn.

My younger brother — who was only eighteen months my junior — and I decided it would be a good idea to take apart the two-cylinder motor, sure we could fix it.

Sometimes naivety and luck work together in your favor.
